Macbook Pro Shut down with a Woosh sound and Beeeep Beeeeep

Hi,
I have Macbook Pro bought in 2010 Nov and since Dec 2011 i have been having this problem, the computers shuts down with a Beeeeppp Beeepp loud sound and there is WOOOOOOSHHHH should quite loud and then shut up... i have done 2 service but the problems still exist and i am stuck as it works only 10-15 mts before it shuts down...

If you have the 15" 2010 model, you may be having some problems with a bad NVIDIA GPU found on some boards that will cause kernel panics. See -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US. Note that the kernel panics only affect the 15" model.
If you do have the problem as described in the Knowledge Base article, it's a good thing that you purchased the machine in November 2010 as the replacement program is only 'good' for three years from date of purchase.
If you DON'T have the 15" model, call back. We can look at some logs, maybe, and see just what's going on.

Macbook Pro shuts down with 40% battery left... does not just go to sleep

Hi,
Our MacBook Pro has started to shut down with about 40% battery left. After it has shut down, I press the button underneath the computer and 2 our of 5 lights light up on the battery. I wouldn't mind if it just went to sleep but I totally have to restart it and lose everything I have been working on when it died. The computer used to go to sleep when the battery got to 0%, then I could plug it in and keep working.
I don't know if it's a software issue or a battery issue or a firmware issue.
Any tips would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

I have read so many articles across the internet with people experiencing this problem. This is the conclusion I came to.
I could not calibrate my battery as my system would hard power down before it got anywhere close to draining the battery entirely. The last 10 cycles on my battery were attempts at calibrating. The most common cause would be because the battery in our macbook pro does contain something close to the charge being reported by the computer, but cannot deliver it. Your fuel gauge is probably not incorrect, especially when the leds on the battery itself show a charge that should be capable of running the machine. Even if it is not calibrated correctly. The internal resistance of the battery itself has compromised the batteries ability to deliver the amperage necessary to run our machines. After finally realizing this, I turned my screen brightness all the way down, and sat all my power settings to max battery life without allowing the machine to go asleep. Then, I went to sleep myself =). In the morning it appeared as though I had a successful calibration and the machine did not power down hard. Depending on how bad of shape your battery is in, this may or may not work. Either way, it didn't matter much. Even with my fuel gauge being correct, if my screen brightness was cranked up and I was doing anything somewhat processor intensive, my battery failed to provide the needed amperage and powered down my system hard again.
The battery really does have the amount of power it says, it just cannot deliver it as fast as needed. At a slower rate, it will work. A replacement battery is needed. I cannot explain the strange jumps/dips in storage capacity but would guess these numbers are a guide, and more than one environmental factor can change this number. Also, once the internal resistance builds up inside the battery and the inability to calibrate happens, it compunds the problem.
My machine is a first gen intel macbook pro. A few months after I bought it, I had battery problems and apple replaced my battery. My machine is 31 months old, it's battery is somewhere around 27. I tried to get apple to replace my battery and they told me no. I was 40% healthy @ 207 cycles. Many people complain about this but it seems reasonable to me, I didn't argue. I do believe my battery failed prematurely, however, it was due to a few factors and I do not think it was the batteries fault. My machine was one of those nice overheating first generation macbook pros. To make the matter worse, one of my internal fans stopped working. I knew this as my istat pro program showed me 1 fan @ zero rpm. I figured I had applecare and had work to do, so continued to use the computer for several months. I did quite a bit of video encoding and processor intensive work. When I would get to work in the morning, my granite desktop was really cold, however, after a half hour or so with the macbook pro running the heat would dissipate through it and warm it up nice and comfortable! lol, some may not think this is funny, but it worked well for me. I frequently had over 180 degree cpu temps and the bar above the keyboard being too hot to lay your hand on and keep it there. I am sure some of this excess heat contributed to the premature failure of my battery. The type of batteries in our machines are killed by heat, charge amount, cycles and age. Probably in that order for most users. So, can I blame apple because my unit ran hotter than it should have because their fan failed! eh, maybe, but I am happy with this laptop overall. I have never had a single laptop for more than 15 months and have had this one for over 30 now.
I ran across this site somewhere, it may have been another user on these forums, I cannot remember. http://www.batteryuniversity.com/partone-19.htm On this page, it talks about our batteries, the effects of heat and level of charge in combination with age. At 77 degrees F., charged to 100% (which is very typical of our machines, or close to it) after one year the battery is 80% as good as it was when it was new. At 32 degrees it is as 94% as good as new after one year. Jump up to 104 F. and the battery is only 65% as good as new after 1 year. Sometimes my computer is running for days and sometimes the environment is warm. Add that to the heat produced by the machine itself and I bet the battery sustained 100 degree temperatures for long periods of time. Just for fun, at 140 degrees and 100% charge in our lithium ion batteries, after only 3 months the capacity is only 60% of its new capacity.
Anyways, that is my battery story. Sum up. The inability to calibrate is due to the batteries increased internal resistance and inability to deliver the charge at a rate needed by your computer even though it appears healthy, or somewhat healthy. You may be able to calibrate by making your laptop drain less power, turn screen brightness all the way down, turn airport & bluetooth off, let hard disk sleep, and let it go. But that will not stop the hard shut down problem, although the fuel gauge will be more accurate. Think of it like this. a 100 gallon fuel tank on a car full of gas. The fuel gauge is correct, it is full. However, the fuel line connecting the fuel tank to the engine is made of a space age material that shrinks as it ages and is exposed to heat. Eventually the fuel line shrinks to the size of a coffee stirrer or small straw. When the motor is turned off the fuel seeps into the small straw. Start the motor, it begins to sip the fuel from the straw. Rev it up (encode video), the motor demands more gas but cannot get it. The motor stalls out (your computer shuts off). Same idea somewhat. Sorry so long

MacBook Pro shuts down with battery in

My 2009 MacBook Pro randomly shuts off with the battery in but runs fine when I remove the battery. The battery is relatively new (less than 1 year). When it is plugged in the light on the adapter is green however, the battery status says "not chargIng". I have tried all of the following:
Reset SMC
Reset PRAM
Repaired disc and disc permissions
Used different adapter
All to no avail. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Sounds like you need to replace the battery.

Macbook Pro shuts down with a full battery, resets date

Hey I have a mid 2011 Macbook Pro that has been shutting down randomly. It'll have a full battery, but shut down when I unplug it or even sometimes when it's still plugged in. Every time I start it up again, the date is changed to Jan. 1 2008 and there's a notification that because it's set to that date, some applications may respond "erratically". It did this for about 2 weeks, then was back to working fine for about a month and now it's started up again.
Today when I turned it back on after it shut down, a notification said to rebuild the iPhoto library. I didn't really know what it meant so I clicked OK because I thought it would help. Instead it erased my entire iPhoto library and shut down again. Thankfully I had my picture backed up!
I have a Genius appointment tomorrow, but was curious if this is happening to anyone else or if anyone has a diagnosis!
Thanks!

Ok so I took it to the Apple store today and the guy was mildly helpful. He said I'm probably running too many programs at the same time and it's depleting all the power. Kind of ridiculous in my opinion because I feel like MacBooks are built to handle checking your email and editing a picture at the same time. He checked all the systems with disk utility and everything, including the battery, came back in good shape. Anyway, it worked fine (of course) when I was with him, but the moment I got home it was worse than ever. Now, even when plugged in, it'll only stay on for a few minutes, if that. It won't turn on at all if it's not plugged in. It plays this game where it shuts itself down then turns itself back on then shuts down again over and over. Any ideas? I feel like I'll just have to take it back to the store.

jayanta.ray,
which model MacBook Pro do you have (did you buy it new?), and which version of OS X is installed on it?

You are still under warranty. Call Apple Care. Make sure you get a case number as all repairs have an additional 90 days of warranty.
#1 - You have 14 days from the date of purchase to return your computer with no questions asked.
#2 - You have 90 days of FREE phone tech support.
#3 - You have the standard one year Apple warranty.
#4 - If you've purchased an AppleCare Protection Plan, your warranty last for 3 years. You can obtain AppleCare anytime up to the first year of the purchase of your computer.
Take FULL advantage of your warranty. Posting on a message board should be done as a last resort and if you are out of warranty or Apple Care has expired.

Macbook pro shuts down unless i keep a key depressed.

Macbook pro shuts down unless i keep a key depressed. a pop up comes up saying " Are you sure you want to shut down your computer now? and gives you the option to choose restart | sleep | cancel | shutdown" but no matter what you select it still shuts off

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
This is just a wild guess on my part, but I have read that when a hard drive is beginning to fail, sometimes the optical drive will also malfunction. You can check out the physical health of your hard drive with the following utility:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
The instructions to restart your computer sounds like you might be experiencing a kernel panic. Here's a link to read about that:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
It's also possible that the optical drive itself is going south. You could run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to see if you get an error code that would indicate the optical drive.
Good luck!

My MacBook Pro shuts down whenever I put it to sleep then put it in my briefcase and transport it. Then I have to reboot it again. Why does this happen?

Check this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1547 and this one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2341?viewlocale=en_US
If it sounds like a RAM issue it could be one of the RAM chips has failed. You could try removing the RAM one at a time and see if it starts with one still installed.

Macbook Pro shutting down. Hardware error code 4MEM/62/40000000:0x7f537f90

Macbook Pro shutting down. Not the same action making it shutdown. Anywhere from being online to attaching a photo to an email to working in Word or Photoshop. Even after it's closed and not being used. I come back to it being shut off and saying it had to restart because of a problem. I ran the Hardware check and got the Hardware error code 4MEM/62/40000000:0x7f537f90.
I must say I am quite disappointed. I have used Mac for work but had a PC since day one, and I JUST got this Macbook Pro in Dec. I was delighted that Mac usually didn't have as many problems with viruses etc as PC. And now last couple days, constantly shutting itself down. The closest store to me is a few hrs away. I am in South Dakota, store is in Minnesota Any help would be appreciated.

Can you post a screen shot of About This Mac -> (More Info) -> System Report -> Memory and click on each DIMM and post the bottom right pane. You can also do the same without a screen shot using just text version using the following highlighted command in OSX Terminal. The output is also listed.

My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down by it self (Random occurrence).

My 15" Macbook Pro, shuts down (randomly) by it self, some times it will not turn on, and some other times (very rarely) the fans go on “very loudly” the second I turn it on. But the computer, does not turn on at all, even with the battery fully charged and the fans runing full blast.
Some other times, it will not wake up. It will only turn on or wake up if connected to the power adapter, even if the battery is fully charged.
I have already reset (a couple times) de firmware, the smc and he pmu and the problem persists.
Al this goes on randomly and unpredictably. Some times it works just fine for 4 or 5 days and the suddenly something happens.
I also think that some times the computer runs extremely hot.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

15' MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have the same thing happening with a new macbook I bought my wife and I called apple today and after going back and forth between apple care and apple customer service they are shipping me out a new replacement macbook as it is less than 30 days since I bought it. I am waiting for their email with the Fed ex info so I can send this one back and then they will send out the new one.
If it is still in warranty I suggest you call Apple customer service and let them know how bad it is and insist on a new one!
This one also reboots at the slightest movement and it took me several tries to finally log in on it tonight to delete all the user accounts before I send it back!
Hopefully the replacement one is glitch free!

Macbook pro shuts down at 15% battery

ok so my macbook pro shuts down at 15% battery by it self without warning just started happening yesterday i got this model in october 2009. Need to know if i have to get a new battery confused with what is wrong with it any reply would be greatly appreciated

In System Profiler/Power what does it say about the Cycles and Condition ?
Reset the SMC (System Management Controller) and re-calibrate the Battery (you should re-calibrate every couple of months).

MacBook Pro shuts down when I close lid. How can I prevent it?

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans call for an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light may cycle off / on once.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed

Hi,
I am having a problem. My macbook pro shuts down OSX and all my programs when the lid is closed. I close the lid, and then I hear the shutdown music and then when I open it again it automatically restarts OSX and all my windows and programs are closed, any info gone.
This doesn't happen all the time. Just once a day or maybe twice a day. It seems like it happens basically when I have my computer just the way I want it, to keep an eye on things for the day.
I just recently switched to a mac and while somewhat savvy, I am not a programmer or techie, but it seems to me that when I shut the lid, it should do the same thing every time.
I have a intel core 2 duo 17 inch macbook pro with 2.33 processr and 2 gig ram, if that helps.
I am in alaska and there is no genius bar here and I am hoping to figure this out before I begin bugging our local independant mac store about this.
Thanks in advance,
Lylah

Ahhh, enlightenment!
That would make sense. What I usually do, after closing the lid, is to wait for the apple to turn off and then set it down on it's side leaning it against the side table. I will try to wait for it to indicate that it is fully asleep before I move it next time. Personally, I prefer my computer to NOT fall asleep at all, but I am told it is not an option. Apparently this function is hardware related accoring to my local mac shop. They tracked it down for me because I hated this feature when I first bought my computer and was trying some way around it.
The shutdown music I was refering to was that music the mac makes when shutting down, which doesnt usually occur when it goes to sleep, unless it is malfunctioning like this.
What does resetting the pmu do? (what is a pmu as well?)
Thank you very much.
Lylah

My MacBook Pro shuts down when i connect a USB cable.

My MacBook Pro shuts down when i connect a USB cable, only when its a 30 pin apple cable. Well one USB shuts it down and the other one doesn't work at all.
it only happens when i use an apple cable. It has no problem with my external drive nor with other things.
Ps. i did use different apple cables and they all shut it down.

What are you connecting? iPad, iPhone, what?
When you say a 30-pin Apple cable do you mean a Lightening to USB cable?
Little more info needed...
